Thanks

[James Cutting]

Jordanian Falcons unsurprisingly have cancelled

[Alternative 4]

All those negative G turns by the Italian Typhoon pilot gave me a headache. Rather him than me.

[c4meron]

Anyone know where the B-52 for the flying display is now parked? I'm sure it was in front of the main hangars yesterday

[James Cutting]

Still there. As you look to where most of the display aircraft are, it's there. I can see the BD tail behind the Hercules from FRIAT. Unsure if it'll go up, the Belgian F-16 really looks like he's battling the wind.

[Tally-ho]

As always, the Belgian F-16 is strutting its stuff - very impressive!

[csnewton2701]

And the rain has arrived.

Belgian f16 seemed very tame compared to his PDA

[razor23uk]

Gripen E just scrubbed due to wind

Doubt it due too wind, the spainish display team seem OK at the minute.

Yes, I was surprised, but the commentary definitely said the wind was too much for the display parameters.

Belgian f16 seemed very tame compared to his PDA

I second that, seemed a little more lethargic.

Me262 cancelled

Solo Harrier display on now in high winds sitting crowd center. Solid as a rock. Still the best at what it was designed to do.

[razor23uk]

Oooh I feel quite moist... That Harrier landing came in right over my caravan!... Made my week

[Finty]

Bit jealous of those getting tonka shots, swept pass and all in nice light!

[wessexspotter]

Ahh the Green Arrows!

[razor23uk]

How good was it to see Tonkas again

[aaron0288]

The F-35 didn't hover long compared to the Harrier still nice to see them fly side by side

F35 was totally outclassed by the Harrier, f35 was wobbling and hardly stood still, harrier was rock steady and the climb out of the Harrier as always been a super feature of the swivel nozzles.

Haha!! Yup the F35 wussed out!

Such a shame isn’t it. Doesn’t even use afterburner on its fast passes either does it? What an advert by the RAF… But then they’re probably trying to put people off applying to be a pilot with how few jets we have now…

[James Cutting]

Doubtful for the B-52, think they just said on radio not any activity around it. But MIGHT be wrong.

[wessexspotter]

Buff canx... Damn

[James Cutting]

B-52 & KC-135 cancelled
